1. Eleven nephrotic patients were immersed up to the neck in 1.3 m of water at 34 degrees C for 4 h. 2. A diuresis began, within the first hour of, and continued throughout, immersion. The urine osmolality fell significantly and decreased to hypotonic levels in the first hour of immersion and increased gradually during the remainder of immersion and postimmersion. 3. Throughout immersion there ...

Let G,H be graphs and G?H represent a particular graph product of G H. We define im(G) to the largest t such that has Kt-immersion ask: given im(G)=t im(H)=r, how large is im(G?H)? Best possible lower bounds are provided when ? Cartesian or lexicographic product, conjecture offered for each direct strong products, along with some partial results.

A fiber optic interferometric sensor with an intrinsic transducer along a length of the fiber is presented for ultrasound measurements of the acoustic emission from partial discharges inside oil-filled power apparatus. The sensor is designed for high sensitivity measurements in a harsh electromagnetic field environment, with wide temperature changes and immersion in oil. It allows enough sensit...

In this paper, concrete specimens are immersed in ultrapure water, to study the evolutions of surface permeability, pore structure and paste microstructure following the prolonging of immersion period. According to the results, after 30-day immersion, the surface permeability of concrete becomes higher as compared with the value before immersion. However, further immersion makes the surface per...
